CHRIS WEILER SEZ:

Written for a fundraiser auction for the Concord Scout House in Concord, 
MA. Written 6/17/07. I prefer the 1/2 hey with hands to a standard hey 
since it gives the whole dance a connected feeling. I have used it with 
mixed crowds before with success.


PA20080209 (Swing Farm): Good intro to Becket, good intro to hey - with hands
you can hardly get it wrong.
